Foxy Lady employees plead not guilty to prostitution charges

Good. I sometimes really wish I had the resources to push a First Amendment violation suit against prostitution laws.

I suspect that the dancers will ultimately win. I'm not sure what difference it will make.

Regarding media coverage, I've always hated how these stories always include as much identifying information about the suspects as possible (mug shots, often street addresses, etc.). For no other reason than the shame factor.

I see stories about people getting caught with pounds of cocaine and assault rifles that don't include half as much information.

My 2 cents.

@C.M.I: Agreed. It’s purely the sensationalism of outing and shaming a hooker.

MD is correct, it's select sensationalism and sex sells but you can't buy actual sex it makes no sense to me that you can put up a nearly naked woman on a Billboard 10 stories high in downtown but God for bed consenting adults agreed to spend money for an act they both agree to

GMD is correct

Sorry

There's case law in Nevada regarding first amendment rights versus the law. The law itself is pretty simple stating something to the tune of, "A customer may not fondle or caress a dancer; a dancer may not fondle or caress a customer." The law is still on the books, but dancer consent trumps the law because through her consent, any fondling or caressing becomes part of her dance, protected by the first amendment, and not subject to the law itself.

It's why the term "typical Vegas mileage" means you can grope the breasts.

It’s not just the freedom of expression part that is being violated, in my opinion. It’s also the right to peaceably assemble. “Shall not be infringed.”
